Zombie Game Idea

[solshadow 0]

Hey folks, tis me Sol :D Now i know it has been a long time since I've posted anything but immediately after I became active again I had the stupendous idea of basing a game off of it. I would have liked it to be a community project but since there was already one in the making I decided on kinda starting out myself and having other members help out if interested.

 

The basic premise of the game is: You create a character and attempt to either outlast the zombie infection, escape the quarantined city, or basically....not dying.

As for the actual member of rmxpunlimited, I was thinking we could take your character from the RP (or a newly designed one) and place them in the game as npcs. However, you guys would also get to set up fun events for the player, anything ranging from your RP character works for the zombie horde and alerts them to the MC's presence everytime they are around to your RP character giving the MC a special weapon or access to a special room. I would like for everyone to contribute something, and for those that are more advanced to help those who arent so advanced out when needed. It would somewhat be a community project but then it would also be a very good, well thought out game.

 

Each member would get from 5-10 (I haven't decided the amount yet) events that they can plan and submit so that we could all coordinate to get it done and fit all the events together.

 

The only reason I post this is 1) to let people know my thoughts and 2) to rather help because while I once was awesome, sadly my hiatus has made me forget everything so I will most definitely be needing assistance.

 

As for the actual game (phew, too long enough to get here >_>)

• 
   
  
• I'm putting together a layout of the town and I will be needing mappers and tileset makers to help out and create the not so lucky town of Ashville.
  
• I would like to have a paperdoll character layout (for some reason, it just makes sense that when you equip something....that it actually shows up on your character) along with a party system with a max of 4 characters (1 MC, 3 other npcs that follow).
  
• The battle system has not yet been decided upon, but I know I would definitely want there to be zombies walking around the town, eating corpses and other npc survivors. Dunno if I want to have the battle be overworld or go into an actually battle scene.
  
• As far as weapons and armors and such, I have a list but its currently being refined at the moment.
  
• Enemy types are also being listed and refined however suggestions are welcome :D
  
• I would like for the player to be able to create their own character (very simple, just a few skin tones, few different eyes, etc. Not too extensive)
  

 

All and all, I want this to be 85-90% member decision, I will assume the role of leader only to keep the from spiraling into chaos and whatnot. While I do have a preliminary vision of how it should be, that does not mean I wont make changes if I hear a good suggestion. Coming from working with professional teams and such, Ive come across many talented people who do not work well with others and decide that they want to be childish and commandeer another person's game idea. I am a very flexible person, but if i turn down an idea or two of yours DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED! I cannot stress this enough, we are all here because we are smart individuals with the drive and passion of making our ideas come to life. With that being said, do I have any takers?

Taker right here. Have always loved zombies, even if they are the only movie monster I fear. Now I have 3 projects I'm working on, but I plan to keep to all of them!

I am assuming you are recruiting a team to work on this? I will move this to project recruitment. see here for more details: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/topic/3919-minimum-requirement-for-a-project-topic/

 

This would be neat; however if you do it, it should definitely be a top-down zombie shooter. It wouldn't make sense otherwise. I think if done correctly you could create a nice atmosphere. Good luck in your endeavours :alright:

So far is it just Iaansolo? I think Ill make a list of everyone who wants to be apart and then after we get people we can split up and work on our respective parts.

 

Members so far:
